That has not played together all season in pivotal points in games.
And it's so unnecessary because all Ham has to do is JUST PLAY CHRISTIE and he doesn't have to run these 3-4 guard lineups... |
How does Christie solve that when he's a guard himself? |
max can defend guards and forwards and also a better shooter than sd and gv. |

Trash junk.
He is getting abused from 3pt line if he doesn't change the defensive scheme. Which I doubt he does
Pels r super hot from 3pt line |

I don't think the two bolded issues are true. We're not small (our guards are actually relatively big except for Gabe Vincent), and we have three other good, starting-level players outside of James and Davis.
Of course Ham isn't that good of a coach, but something has been wrong with this team's mindset when playing against inferior teams, and ultimately the players collectively have to be blamed for that. Maybe Ham also deserves blame for that, but not all of the blame. |
Besides Spencer and Max. Our guards cannot match up against any nba starters. Either too small(GABE) not Athletic or Strong enough (DLO and AR) |

So how lucky were the other teams that LeBron was injured that entire Playoff run?

I thought his timeouts were better today, and he was smart not to play AD with 4 fouls in the 3rd after he picked up two somewhat soft calls in the 3rd.
Guys looked ready to play in terms of gameplan and their effort. Have to give coach credit for that, too.
Guys played a little too long for my liking though |

No TP at the 4 lineups today either. Took 82 games, but Ham finally figured it out in game 83. Great, I guess. Sure would have been nice if today’s game had been a meaningless one for us and we could have rested our guys instead of needing everyone to go flat out for the last couple of months just to secure the top end of the play in bracket, but instead Ham decided it would be nice to throw away games for no real reason. Now we have to sweat AD’s back spasms instead of everyone getting to rest while other suckers needed to play out the play in games. |

We were up 21 with 5:22 to go.
AD only played 32 minutes today man.
I watch alot of basketball. I can't think of any other coach in the league that would've pulled AD then.

Might not be permanent, NOP got Zion and he knew TP can’t handle him |

If Ham could beat Denver, I would call him the "Hammaster" and would eat ham for a whole year.

| We are in the play-in instead of having home court in the 1st round because of his poor coaching/lineups. I get not wanting to fire him midseason when you may not have a good replacement lined up. Once this season is over he either should be fired or the Lakers won the championship. That is the only reason I would keep for another season. |

Who's the replacement come summer?
Not that I disagree but who's the guy available who Jeanie will be willing to pay far more than Ham while also paying Ham? Too bad Jay Mohr isn't Phil Jackson.
Really too bad we didn't give Vogel 1 more yer than get Nurse. |

Yes, advancing past the first round would be an overachievement for Ham imo. Championship would have been nice but would be totally unexpected outta Ham.

The pay part is something that worries me. It seems like they offer one of the least competitive coaching salaries when they go to market. |

It was like that with Dr. Buss too. People don’t pay to see the coach.

Unless if his name is Phil. Then you have to open the check book
And I don’t see a Phil out here at all. Unless if they could steal Mike
Malone or Kerr, that book ain’t getting opened |

Someone needs to stay attached to Michael Porter Jr. He's 21-30 in last two games against the Lakers and 75% from 3.

And Murray. At all times.
Let Jokic score 45. But don't let him get 15 assists |
